Russell Brand goes to prison

11-11-2026 07:00

A London court says that famous British actor Russell Brand is guilty of big crimes. He hurts four women and must now go to prison for a long time.

Police say that more women will likely come and tell their stories now. The police say that it is good that women can speak. People will believe them now. The British prime minister thanks the women who tell the truth about Brand’s bad actions.

Police are still looking into other stories about him. Brand will find out his time in prison soon.

Difficult words: guilty (when someone is responsible for something bad they do), likely (when something may happen or be true), prime minister (the leader of a government).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
